Lately, I've been a bit addicted to slow cooker shredded chicken - and adding as many great and delicious flavors as possible. This Mango Salsa chicken is PHENOM-ENAL. It's the perfect about of sweet and spicy, thanks to the salsa and fresh mango. Let it slow cook the day away, then you just shred the chicken with 2 forks and spoon it all into flour or corn tortillas, taco … [Read more...]

Freezer Friendly Cilantro Lime Chicken
I like to call meals like this "double cook" meals. It doesn't mean that they are harder to cook, or take twice the amount of time. It just means that they cook in two ways. In this case, the chicken is browned on the stovetop, then baked in the oven. All in the same cast iron skillet. The flavor in this sauce is off the hook. It's cray. It's bae. (Please pardon my … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

Baked Honey Mustard Chicken
KID FAVORITE ALERT. This is a kid favorite. It's chicken. It's dippable. It's yellow. And it's delicious. In this recipe, I've added a touch of vinegar into the marinade and the reason for that is to cut down on the chicken-y flavor. Sometimes baked chicken has a chicken-y flavor that is just too chicken-y, so I add vinegar to cut that down. (If you don't know what I'm … [Read more...]

Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken
Lemon Pepper Chicken might be my favorite way to grill chicken. Why? Because the lemon juice does such an amazing job of tenderizing the chicken (the acidity actually breaks down the chicken to literally soften it), and infusing it's citrus-y flavor goodness deep into the chicken. The result is perfectly grilled chicken! Combined with more pepper in the marinade than you … [Read more...]
